>>507892248 (OP)I'm torn between hedonism and asceticism.
I'm doing a bit of both in my "natural state" I guess. I jerk off to 2D waifus whenever I feel like, but I'm not really consuming anything material.
I hoard digital shit, but barely spend money on anything unless necessary.
I eat the exact same thing every day, plain oatmeal for breakfast, chicken breasts roasted in a pan with salt and a bit of butter with rice and pickled vegetables.
I spend most of my day in digital excess without much material wants.
I saved up my wages for a long time so I thought I'd spend it on something fancy as I saw others enjoy it and got an ipad air recently.
Feels like a waste and it didn't push any buttons for me. Every time I go out of my way to buy something it's just "okay" put it somewhere to gather dust.
My newest clothes are from the time my mom bought them for me 9 years ago and they are just fine too.
TL:DR; I indulge and abstain where and when I want or feel like. You could do the same.
The mark on the world thing is a meme and as any sense of normalcy has been lost in "society" or the world at large chasing stuff like family, community or similar feels pointless.
